Trump: I won't call DeSantis "Meatball Ron" - POLITICO
Donald Trump on Saturday said he wouldn’t use the nickname “Meatball Ron” to describe Ron DeSantis, a likely rival for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.
In a Truth Social post, the former president said it would be “inappropriate” to use the word “‘meatball’ as a moniker, which has been described as referring to DeSantis’ appearance and carries connotations to his Italian lineage.
He already called him Meatball Ron once. Now it's out there and he doesn't even have to say it, and he can act like it's not his doing.
